The second of seven bottlings in the Midleton Kylebeg Wood series, each of which is traceable to a single native Irish oak. The felling of these trees on Ballykilcavan estate, cast sunlight on the floor of this centuries-old forest where new saplings are already taking purchase. A promise that Irish oak will continue to grow there for centuries to come.
The fourth volume in Laphroaig's Ian Hunter Story series is a 1987-vintage single malt that was matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and finished in first-fill European oak ex-oloroso sherry casks, before being bottled at 34-years-old. Aromas of dried fruit, soft smoke, tobacco leaves, eucalyptus, heather honey, black pepper and cinder toffee fill the nose, complemented by notes of barbecued pork, sweet honey, peach, orange blossom, iodine, earthy peat and ashy wood smoke throughout the palate and lingering in the finish.
Colleoni Brunello di Montalcino Santa Maria 2015 is a prestigious Italian red wine from the renowned Brunello di Montalcino wine region in Tuscany. This wine is made entirely from Sangiovese grapes, also known locally as Brunello, which are carefully selected from the Santa Maria vineyard, one of the oldest and most distinguished vineyards in the region.
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch might be the best Napa Valley Cabernet out there under $100. Based on 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, it offers a full-bodied, round, sexy style that can be difficult to find in a vintage like 2017.
2017 was a very challenging year, as most of their vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja were affected by frost, unlike others in nearby Laguardia. Not only was it frost, but they also had hail later on in the season. Quantities suffered—they told me they lost 70% of the crop in Rioja that year—but they were happy about the quality of the 2017 Macán, being very careful with the fermentation and separating the press wine by quality.
